I just finished reading Lisa's evaluation of LSU. It doesn't suprise me that a USC fan is belittling the SEC, because they are still reeling from the embarassment of losing the National Championship to an SEC team. All last year SEC fans had to endure the bragging that eminated from Southern California as well as from Ohio State. In the end, the Florida Gators proved that the SEC is still the best conference.
USC lost to UCLA, hardly a great team, and Michigan lost to OSU. Meanwhile, Florida just rolled along biding their time until they finally got the opportunity to show the Big 10 what SEC football is all about. Make fun of LSU, make fun of Georgia, root for Cal against TN, but at the end of the day if Georgia wins and TN wins, will you change your mind Lisa?
The margin of victory is not the only thing that matters. If it was, then USC should have won the national title last year. The blew out many opponents, only to lose the game that counts. Winning all your games is what matters. USC is a dominant team in a weak conference. LSU, Georgia, FL, TN, and Auburn, are all good teams in a dominant conference. Only one can survive to fight for a national title, while USC just has to win against mediocre competition all year to go to the BCS title game. Not to mention that the SEC has a play off set up which adds one more level of toughness to earn its BCS title shot. For that reason alone, USC should have the upper hand to make it. The deck is stacked in a Trojan way.
I look forward to seeing a post from Lisa/all other SEC haters when TN and Georgia win. If they lose, I will be posting about how great the PAC 10 is.
No matter who wins or loses, isn't it great that we can officially start the trash talking. Let the bragging begin.

*Does anyone have a college pick em league set up? If not, we could do one before noon today and get picks in on the SEC vs Big 10 vs. Pac 10.*
The SEC is the best college football conference around. The teams beat up on each other all year long so it is very difficult for one to emerge as a national champion, but if you watch the bowl games you will see that they have one of the highest winning percentages every year. Not to mention that invariable five or six of the SEC teams are invited to bowl games compared to two to three from most other conferences. Georgia, Florida, Auburn, LSU, Tennessee, and Arkansas can stand up to just about anyone else in the nation. The suprising thing about that list is that it does not even have Alabama or South Carolina in it and those two teams are also forces to be reckoned with.
